Ageing well is not just about longevity, according to medical academic Doug Wilson.
It is the art of living well, making the most of the time we have, and finding ways to enhance our happiness and sense of fulfilment, he says.
In Ageing Well: How to Navigate Life's Journey in Your Later Years, Doug explains what may hinder and what may help the enjoyment of life as we grow older.
